Ole Olsen (comedian)

John Sigvard "Ole" Olsen (November 6, 1892 – January 26, 1963) was an American comedian. He was half of the Olsen and Johnson comedy team, formed in 1914, who became stars of vaudeville, radio, the Broadway stage, motion pictures, and television. Their shows were noted for their crazy blackout gags and orchestrated mayhem ("anything can happen, and it probably will"). Olsen and Johnson's most famous production was the stage musical (and later movie) Hellzapoppin.
